I find it completely wild how many of us could have written this story word for word.
Thank you, Jesse, for putting the words on paper. I am so very, very tired of the hamsterwheel of ruminating on the shame and guilt. Focusing on self-talk to get out of the spiral to run up the side of the wheel to 'ok-ness' only to lose your footing and back into the loop again. I would do anything for contentment.
P.S. Whenever I write my feelings and experiences in words, it is such a downer! I swear, I enjoy my life, and I laugh a lot, but the internal monologue thing is a royal pain in the ass! Lol!!
P.S.S. I was thinking today how much I am looking forward to your app. I can't believe how often I forget to check in with people. Nice one, coming up with this idea is awesome!
It's kind of scary how applicable this article + video was to watch as I just experienced a really tough situation (one of many) related to missing deadlines at work and feeling all kinds of shame and general Bad Feelings around it. Thank you for sharing this and I can't wait to see the rest of your series.
Thank you for normalizing the behaviors that so many of us grapple with. It’s reassuring to know there is a community of people that shares our struggles.

This theme was what hit me and motivated me to start my own Substack. Glad to fine one more courageous soul.
I absolutely feel this! Been fighting my own brain for years trying to adapt to a neurotypical world when figuring out what works for me is essential.
Good post Jesse 🙂.
I'll check your video on motivation, definitely struggle with it a lot!
